The sectors are managed by three Sector Chief Executives, who sit on the Halma Executive Board, and a small team of Divisional Chief Executives who chair the companies and lead the M&A. They promote internal networks and collaboration between companies, enabling companies to capitalise on broader sector trends, and support M&A through small sector teams.
